I was very moved after reading 'Sisters on a long march' by Bibi Funyal (#205) and learning about Sarita and Laxmi who left school out of fear and are forced to carry heavy loads in order to make a living. There are thousands of girls like them all over Nepal, I would like to ask the Maoist leadership to ask themselves what goal is worth this kind of waste and ruin.
